For this Valentine’s Day special I’m back in the kitchen cooking one of my wife’s favorite dishes: real Italian‑style fettuccine Alfredo with shrimp, the way we enjoy it at home. While the pasta’s boiling, I’m telling the story of how we met on a movie set in 1983, why she stood me up the first time, and how a mob guy ended up married to the same woman for 40 years.
We talk about how to recognize a good woman, red flags that tell you she’s not the one, and why being a man means protecting, providing, and showing her she’s special—on Valentine’s Day and every other day. I also share why I believe men should cook for their wives once in a while, what really keeps the spark alive after decades together, and answer questions from my school about mistakes men make in relationships and how I knew Cami was the one.
If you want to steal this Valentine’s idea—fettuccine, roses, chocolates, and a good bottle of wine—I promise it’s an offer she can’t refuse.
